A Lawrence man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman he knew has been sentenced to prison in the case.

Jeremy L. Farnsworth, 41, was ultimately convicted of a lesser felony in the case — one count of aggravated battery — following a plea agreement in December.

On Friday, Farnsworth was sentenced to 41 months in prison, with three years of post-release supervision, according to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office.

The case stemmed from a July 23, 2017, incident in the 100 block of North Michigan Street.

The victim had agreed to meet Farnsworth at a park that day to return some items she’d taken out of his truck, she testified at a preliminary hearing in August.

When she got there, Farnsworth pointed a gun at her and forced her into the truck, she said. He drove her to her home to pick up items, then to a friend’s home where he took her to a basement storm shelter and told her to perform a sex act, she said.

At multiple points throughout the incident, she said, Farnsworth was holding a gun — once pointing it to her head — or a hammer.
